Tree Care

In the modern world of soil compaction and environmental pollution, tree health and life expectancies tend to increase with responsible cultivation practices. For example, they are more likely to maintain proper form and growth if the particular planting, pruning, spraying and watering needs are met. Contributors typically want to know about a tree's planting depth and width, potential pests and stresses, pruning and watering schedules, and treatment options.

When to spray fruit trees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what you are spraying. There are different schedules for different parts of the country and whether you are going organic or semi-organic or whatever. Usually, there is an application of horticultural dormant oil ( winter rate) after a mid winter pruning and then subsequent sprayings of insecticide and fungicides at different stages of development, such as before the buds open, after the flowers have dropped and during fruit development.Check with your local state agricultural office for a full schedule and list of products.

Why do the leafs on trees turn red orange and yellow during the fall?

Trees do that because they lose the chloroplast in their cells, which is what gives them the green color. That makes them reveal their true identity, yellow, red, or orange.

Should a mature liquid amber tree be pruned and topped?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sure, you should thin out the crown of the tree by removing selected branches, or raise the crown by removing lower branches.

My Arborist has done a fabulous job with our Liquid Amber We live in Vancouver BC - the tree is 10 years old and stands nearly 20 feet tall. We don't want the tree to grow to its full potential of around 60 feet and so we prune it each year.

So - here's what to do - wait till the very beginning of spring - more like the end of winter - you'll see little buds where the new growth is about to emerge.

The pruning is done in a spiral shape cutting every third branch form the trunk and /or every third twig from the branch in a spiral formation depending on your desired overall effect This will prevent die back and also assist with healing. It will also limit the height of the tree which will also limit the footprint of the tree and also the root pattern. As it is the rootball will be approximately the same as the blossoming tree foilage and it will push up driveways and pathways unless controlled.

Good luck.

How do you kill weeds in myrtle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mulching, removing, spraying, and using landscape fabric or mulch are ways to kill weeds without killing the myrtle among which the weeds are growing. Removal can be done -- but carefully so as not to damage or destroy the woody plant's body parts -- by hand, hoe, rake, or shovel. Spraying must involve a non-residual, specific, target herbicide so as not to adversely affect the Myrtus genus member in question.

How has kudzu affected trees?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make energy, through interaction with the sun's rays. Plants need energy to grow. When they live for more than one year, they tend to store this energy while they're dormant, for ready access in the spring. The preceding informaton applies to herbaceous and woody plants, and therefore to kudzu. Kudzu uses photosynthesis to changethe form of the water and nutrients that the plant gets from the soil. Under the influence of the sun's rays, the nutrients and water are changed into energizing materials, such as sugars and starches. These materials are what kudzu needs to carry out its daily activities, such as growing.

What substance does tree use for food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They use a process called photosynthesis to make there own food. What the trees do is take in carbon dioxide, water and sunlight and convert into sugars in which they use for food and oxygen that the realises into the air and we use the oxygen they create to survive. The chemical equation to photosynthesis is 6co2( six molecules of carbon dioxide+ 6h2o( six water molecules) and sunlight= c6h12og ( sugar) and 6o2 ( six molecules of oxygen)
